ready been stated in these letters, that the
accusation grew out of talk between
two Hennepin county members, Mr.. Clou-
tier being the party who had told Mr. Nc
Afdle that $3.50, could be secured by voting
against one bill and $3.50, Umore by voting
for another. The evidence shows that
Cloutler claims that his talk was merely in
jest and both parties deny that there was
any absolute money offered or ac-

ed by q vote of q to II. When the bill had
/ been considered section by section, which
z had occupied the morning session and well
along into the afternoon, Mr.. Pope endeav-
ored to get the rules suspended to pass the
bill but two-thirds did not vote for the sus-
pension. There were 81 votes for suspen-
sion which indicates that the bill win be
passed when it is reached in its regular or
der. In the House the railroad bill under
conslderation was known as the Williams
ton Of 20 per cent on all
: classes of freight Mr.: Donnelly
endeavored to amend it to make reduc-
ton OF IS per cent and again IS per- cent
but both were defeated. He then offered
another amendment authorizing the rail-
road commissioner to make an average re-
'duction but not going below those fixed by
the act and provided that the bill should
apply to all crailroads. This amendment
: was adopted. An effort was also made to
: amend the bill forbidding the issuing Of
passes bat this was defeated. Mr. nonnelly
claimed that the bill was damage rather
than a beneit to the farmers. The bill
gives the railroad commission authority to
relieve any road from it's operation that
seems to be unfair to that road. Those
who did not entirely favor it seemed to
think it best as to accept it as the best that
could be done under the circumstances and
the bill passed by a unanimous vote. A
resolution was offered in the House
Today to APP appoint a comm mite
building with view of it's being repaired or
rebuilt and authorizing them if they deem it
advisable to accept bids from st. Paul or
any other points for the erection of new
building. The railroad bills in the respec-
tive houses occupied so much time in the
debate that but little else was accomplished
and that was all of the ''purely locap' char
1 acter. The bill transferring the land grant
of the ST. Cloud, Mankato & Austin road to
the Duluth, st. Cloud & Mankato road was
reported from the committee in the House
with recommendation that it should pass
and the Indications are favorable to such
action though, there has been quite con-
test over the matter.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. Is, 1887.
AS the legislative session draws toa close
the rush of business is SO great that it is
difficult to report it except in a general way.
The majority of the bills, are, of course, of a
local character for some specific town or
county. In the Senate to-day Senator
Keller of Stearns scored victory in the
passage of his bill allowing license to sell
for not less than $20j. When the vote was
first taken it lacked four of enough topass it
but while some parliamentary questions were
being considered Keller few about in live
ly manner and hunted up FIVE affirmative
votes so that the record finally stood yeas
passage through the House but strong
effort will be made to secure it. The next
most notable thing in the Senate was the
passage of Donnelly's freedom of market
bill. As it had already passed the House
it now only needs the Governors approval
to become law. There has been good
deal of contest over the bill granting the
Duluth Il Winnipeg road the right to
change its line to the south of Leech Lake.
The road has but one year more to build in
order to secure its land grant but asked to
selected by the st. Paul. Brainerd &
Northwestern. Senator Buchanan made a
rafting, speech in opposition to the
bill and it was indefinitely postponed
with only three votes in its favor A mo-
ton to reconsider, only developed eight
votes in its favor;;and consequently it is dead
in the Senate beyond hope. Senator Buck
mans speech was one of the best and
strongest delivered this session and attract
ed great deal of attention. A similar bill
is pending in the House and may possibly
pass that body but after the vote to-day is
hardly. liable to get through the Senate.
The bill appropriating $4,000 to the State
Agricultural society had narrow escape
from defeat in the Senate to-day and has
quite a severe gauntlet to run in the
House. When the agricultural So
ciety found themselves short of
money in the erection of their build
ings, St Paul and Minneapolis came for
ward and advanced the amount necessary
and this appropriation is to reimburse citi-
zens of those cities Notwithstanding ST..
Paul gave the ground to the State there are
good many in opposition to reimburse our
| citizens for their expenditure. The House
is so overwhelmed that its members could
not spare the time to hear the celebrated
Patti sing but the Senate being in better
shape held no evening session though there
was more than quorum present at the Elk
position Rink where the celebrated vocalist
appeared. 49,. .-&..'f

Senetor Vests Game of Poker.

young: man, occasionally INDUCED
in the the fascinating game
which we know is thoroughly under-
stood in all it's details in Clinton County
more especially Lathrop- Well, once
on time Vest had tried a case in a
little county seat and received a large
fee for clearing his man. So much
money in the hands of the young
lawyer was as tempting to the denizens
as a cool watermelon to hungry mig
ger. The result was game of poker
was gotten up. The boys intended to
fleece Vest, and of course s.stacked'' the
cards. They had no floor but some
fresh dry wheat straw. 1t was five
handed game, and dry-goods box
served as q table. 1t happened to be a
jack pot, and Vest opened it on three
queens. The cards being fixed, the
other fellows had better hands and of
course raised before the draw. Vest
stood the raise and drew two cards. As
luck would have it he got the other
queen. The betting commenced and
grew exceedingly warm. They would
raise the young lawyer and he would
see them and go a little better. An
outsider, who stood in with the gang,
looked over Vests shoulder and saw
what a formidable hand he had.
He held up four fingers, shook his
head and in other ways tried to warn
his friends. But to no purpose. He
saw that Vest would break the crowd,
so he lit match and set the straw
floor on fire and told them to run for
dear life. That cool head which serves
him so we'll now in the great debates Of
the Senate, and which never lets him
become ratified, did not desert him
then. With one hand he raked in the
Doodle, with the other he exhibited his
lovely queens. and as he went out of
the door with his coat-tail on fire he
said: "Let her burn; the pot is mine. .
An hour or two afterward he sat in
the hotel surrounded by a crowd of
friends. He told them that the manner
in which they weighed hogs in Arkan-
sas was to tie two boxes on the ends OF
a pole and balance it across a rail fence.
The hog was placed in one box and the
other one was filled with rocks until
they balanced. The weight of the hog
was ascertained by guessing at the
weight of the rocks. Vest then lazily
closed his near eye and slowly elevated
the brow of the off one, acomical facial
expression SO peculiar to himself, and
remarked that he was Of the opinion
that some people in that town knew as
little about playing. poker as the peo-
pie Of Arkansas did about weighing
hogs. The crowd all laughed but the
shed burners, and they put on sick
ly grin and went out and smiled. -

Chaos. This describes the condition of
affairs in the House. That body is so abso-
lutely overwhelmed with business that
members are fairly dazed and hardly know
where to begin. There were 1893 bills on
general orders this morning and when the
House closed its session at II O'Clock to-
orders. An effort was made in the after
noon to relieve the general
order list by appointing committee to Sc
lect such bills as there was no objection to
and place them on the calendar for third
reading and final passage, thus avoiding
debate and the delay which occurs in
The committee of the whole. The COM
mittee reported and selected something over
two hundred bills to which there was no
objection. This looked as though there was
going to be tremendous sweep and ad-
vancement of business but the result was
disappointment. Hendrickson of St. Paul,
who was interested in a bill that has been
objected to, got up and moved that his bill
be included in the list to be added to the
third reading but an Otter Tail county mem
there was single objection it threw the bill
out. There were four or five bills in which
the Otter Tail man was interested that there
had been no objection to and they were
included in the report OF the committee, but
Hendrickson, as matter of revenge, picked
the report of the committee. Then another
member arose and wanted to get some bill
included in the advancement and some one
else wanted bill or two that had been re-
ported by the committee thrown out and
the result of the whole muddle was that ait
hours effort to get the advancement made
the whole subject was laid on the table and
the 293 bills all remained on general orders.
It was nearly 10 o'clock tonight before that
order OF business was reached. The first
bills related to freedom OF traffic on railroads
passed upon the House was in frame Of
mind to adjourn. About forty bills were
passed IN the House during the afternoon
and evening Among them was the senate
bill offered by Mr.. Ives forbidding the sale
OF liquor to minors. This had q close call
only having one vote to spare. In the
evening while the House was engaged in
third reading and passage Of bills, the Lee
bill prescribing penalties for violation Of
the high license law was reached. There
were sixteen absentees and among them just
enough high license men, or those who had
voted for high license before. to leave the
temperance element in the minority. The
anti high license forces were very anxious
to vote and the high license men just
as anxious to prevent it. Mr. Potter
Of Houston took charge Of the mater
and began to fillibuster in e order
to secure time. Motions for q call
of the House and to call the roll, mo-
tions to djourn and motions for various
things with call Of the roll ordered each time
followed in quick succession. Mr.. Potter
asked to have the bill laid aside until morn
ing as matter OF courtesy and announced
his intention il it was not, to continue his
tactics and spend the entire evening in

How to Keep the Hands Soft.

A little ammonia or borax in the
water you wash your hands with, and
that water just lukewarm, will keep
the skin clean and soft. A little oat-
meal mixed with the water will whiten
the hands. Many people use glycerine
on their hands when they 60 to bed,
wearing gloves to keep the bedding
clean; but glycerine makes some skins
harsh and red. These people should
rub their hands with dry oatmeal and
wear gloves in bed. The. best prepare
ton for the hands at night is white Of
egg with a grain Of alum dissolved in
it, Roman toilet paste is merely
white Of egg, barley flour, ana honey.
They say it was used by the Romans
in olden time. Any way, it is first
rate thing; but it is mean, sticky stuff
to use and does not do the work any
better than oatmeal II. The toughest
and hardest hands can be made soft
and white in a month time by doctor
ing them a little at bed time; all the
tools You need Il are nail-brush, a
bottle Of ammonia, q box Of powdered
borax and q little fine white sand to
rub the stains off. or a cut Of lemon,
which will do even better, for the acid
Of the lemon will clean anything.
Manicures use acids in the shop, but
the lemon is quite as good and is not
poisonous, while the acids are. 1he
